We have been watching the rise of some very....odd....posts on Twitter that sound an awful lot like BLM sounded a few years ago. Only they are on the right. We have been very confused about what to make of these posts. Kevin is coming back on the show to break it all down for us in a way that we (and you!) can understand.

#246 Title IX, Public Schools, Women's Sports, and Everything Else Happening in Culture, with John Stonestreet

"Every murder investigation teaches two lessons: a death lesson and a life lesson.” For decades, cold-case homicide detective J. Warner Wallace investigated the causes behind deaths and murders, chasing one lead after another as he attempted to solve the case. Several of these cases remain open, unsolved mysteries. But even those that haven't yet revealed the identity of the killer do expose the truths of human nature: what's important to us, what threatens our well-being, and what causes us to flourish. Jim joins the podcast to talk about the lessons he learned about the meaning of life after spending decades solving cold case homicides. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:IMPACT 360Impact 360 prepares the next generation of leaders who follow Jesus through residential, community-centered experiences for 15 to 25-year-olds.  They do this through one- and two-week summer camps for high school students and the Fellows program, a nine-month gap year program for 18-20-year-olds who want to live out their faith boldly.

#245 What Solving True Crime Cases Taught Detective J. Warner Wallace About Life

Abbie Halberstadt joins the podcast to talk about a parenting method called “Gentle Parenting.” She defines it and discusses some of the unbiblical worldview assumptions that can actually prevent our kids from being able to fully understand and appreciate the gospel. Should parents practice punishment or restorative discipline? Should Christians view all emotions as valid? Has the oppressed vs. oppressed narrative made its way into our parenting? Abbie and Alisa discuss all these questions and more.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Use the code, ALISA to get 10% off your subscription and a price lock guarantee until 2026!Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off any product.www.sevenweekscoffee.comIMPACT 360Impact 360 prepares the next generation of leaders who follow Jesus through residential, community-centered experiences for 15 to 25-year-olds. They do this through one- and two-week summer camps for high school students and the Fellows program, a nine-month gap year program for 18-20-year-olds who want to live out their faith boldly.

#244 Should Christians Practice Gentle Parenting?, with Abbie Halberstadt

In his book, Street Smarts: Using Questions to Answer Christianity’s Toughest Challenges, Greg Koukl writes, "History is testimony to a basic fact. Human lives will be ruled by one of two fundamental forces: either truth or power. Humanity will be governed either by the physical facts of God’s world and the moral facts of his character, or by the forces that oppose those moral and physical facts.” In today’s episode, Greg discusses the chaos we see in our culture that is a direct result of a denial of absolute truth. He also shares some “Street Smart” tactics Christians can use to challenge the assumptions of other worldviews while keeping our conversations friendly and helpful. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off any product.www.sevenweekscoffee.com (http://www.sevenweekscoffee.com/)FOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to think biblically in a deceptive world. Go to foundationworldview.com (http://foundationworldview.com/) and use the discount code ALISA to receive 10% off a family license.GOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Use the code, ALISA to get 10% off your subscription and a price lock guarantee until 2026!Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa (http://www.goodranchers.com/alisa) for more information.--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/music (http://www.alisachilders.com/music)There you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon:  www.patreon.com/alisachilders (http://www.patreon.com/alisachilders)To order “Another Gospel”:  www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/another-gospel/)To order “Live Your Truth":  www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/ (http://www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/)To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/ (https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/)For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com (https://alisachilders.creator-spring.com/)To see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachilders (https://kit.co/alisachilders)Potential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/ (https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/)Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.
